Parity-breaking phases of spin-orbit-coupled metals with gyrotropic, ferroelectric and multipolar orders [PDF]
We study Fermi liquid instabilities in spin-orbit-coupled metals with inversion symmetry. By introducing a canonical basis for the doubly degenerate Bloch bands in momentum space, we derive the general form of interaction functions.
